ScotRail finally rolls out extra carriages
Passengers on the 7.58am service were having to squeeze into just three carriages after storm damage to trains and some were left on the platform.
ScotRail told Edinburgh West Liberal Democrat MP Mike Crockart it would operate the trains with six carriages from this week, but the extra carriages failed to materialise. ScotRail blamed further storm damage to rolling stock.

“I was told on Wednesday a six-carriage service would not run until Monday so I was very pleased yesterday’s train was back to normal capacity.”
